I believe it was in his first season with us where it was mentioned that he had spastic colon issues. That is basically a symptom of IBS or Crohn's. I am no doc or anything like that but there is not a huge difference between the effects it has on a person and their eating habits. It is going to be dang hard to eat like a top-tier athlete playing a professional sport needs to consume foods. I remember hearing Tambi Hali talking about trying to consume 7,000 healthy calories a day. That has to be incredibly hard with the "stomach issues" that have been reported over and over about Frank Clark.

They said he was the best back in the league. We sent his ass home.

Veach is probably fine if this is Frank's last year in KC.

Move money off the books, attacks the edge position in the draft and free agency. Or who knows, a trade.

I have no problem with Frank. And honestly, I'd rather him ball out in the playoffs vs what we got out of Houston when it mattered the most.

IMO he’ll be here in 2022 since Orlando Brown Jr will likely get his new deal and a low 1st year cap hit. They’ll likely get Frank to convert some of his salary to lower that 2022 cap hit.

Reason I say this is bc I think we’re gonna go hard on the DL like we did with OL this year but in the draft and they’ll want Frank there one last time.

I can totally see us doubling down on DL in the draft like the Bills did this year. Not 1st and 2nd but maybe 1st and 3rd

Clark already has an absolutely insane cap number of almost $28 million in 2023, restructuring just makes that even worse. Any meaningful restructure pushes that number probably in excess of $30 million. I don’t see how you can rationalize a $30 million salary for such a limited player.

I see little reason to think you can’t get similar production to Clark at a fraction of the cost through the draft or FA.

That's not how it works but ok lol.

It’s taking a part of the contract as a bonus to get immediately. He did it in 2020 and we did it with guys this year. Doesn’t push the can down the road. They can do what they did to Okafor last year: tell him you need to do this to lower your cap hit or we’ll cut you straight up bc we’re at a point in your contract where we can do that.

Plus Orlando Brown Jr is your only vital FA in 2022 His cap hit won’t be big for a couple years.

And no you’re likely not getting a rookie to get his postseason production. Especially from the bottom of the first rd

I think Frank really loves being a Chief and this organization as a whole. SEA was kinda leaving him out to dry in contract talks his final year there. Not to mention him and Chris Jones recruited a good buddy of his and that good buddy, Reed, took less to be here.

Clark is surely a reasonable guy and knows his market value has fallen off from three years ago. I think he's open to negotiate a new contract assuming he plays well this year.

I’m legit surprised Frank has never pooped his pants on the field.
[Reply]

Whatever happened to the 2 UCL tears Clark said he had? I was surprised to see him wearing elbow braces on each arm again last season.
[Reply]

I would still make the trade 10/10 times simply because without him I’m not sure they win the SB.

That also doesn’t change the fact that he needs to have a BIG year in order to stick around on his monster cap number next season.

Now, I do think his production in the RS or lack thereof is mostly due to injuries/illness problems that he can’t control, but we still need more at that price tag.
[Reply]

I don’t think they’ve ever been repaired.

Not literally, anyway.
